I have this lovely award that I would like to share!
Wonderful authors Noelle Clark and , Shehanne Moore, have nominated me in her list of Liebster Award winners. What this means, is that I have to display the badge, plus answer some questions. Then I’m supposed to nominate some other authors to go through the same process. So, thank you Shey and Noelle for this award.
If I had a bucket load of diamonds and a designer dress I’d feel like Cate Blanchet.
1. Which fictional character would you most fancy having a fling with and why?
Sir James Mitchell, my hero of Moonstone Obsession. He’s charming, intelligent, honourable (as well as being good looking). Of all my heroes, James is perhaps most like my husband whom I adore.
2. Do you have a favourite type of character?
I like my heroines to be intelligent, but vulnerable. I truly dislike bitchy characters or dumb bunnies. My favourite heroes are the perfect match for the heroine. He’s an intellectual match but he also a man who is interested in a partnership with out heroine.
3. Apart from writing, what are you most passionate about?
I love my darling husband, my two cute cats – and antiques, but I’m passionate about supporting community development and literacy projects in developing countries.
Awww, aren’t they a cute couple
4. What are you working on right now?
Moonstone Conspiracy, a sequel to Moonstone Obsession and is set during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror.
5. You’ve been shipwrecked on a desert island, what book can’t you be without?
The Bible – a combination of the world’s finest literature filled with stories of the good, bad and ugly of human nature – as well as inspiration and hope – it’s a writer’s dream.
6. Who is your favourite author and why?
I hate this question because I never can choose one! I love Agatha Christie, Alison Stuart, Anna Campbell. I’m just starting with the As…
7. Are you a plotter or a pantser?
I’m a plotter, with pantserish tendencies – is a great line from Noelle C
Character inspiration: Meet Sebastian de la Coix, Baron of Tyrswick. Hero of Warrior’s Surrender.
lark, so I’m borrowing it!
8. Have you been known to ‘torture’ a character and if so why?
I don’t know so much about torture, but Sebastian de la Croix, the hero in Warrior’s Surrender is severely wounded in a trial by combat. Does that count?
9 Do you remember your favourite childhood book?
The entire Nancy Drew series.
10. Have you ever cried over a book? If so, which one?
I’m not sure that I have. There have been plenty of books which have touched me but I don’t recall crying.
11. Do you prefer sweet or angsty?
Angst with a twist of sweet and a happily ever after umbrella on top.
12. Is there anything you do particularly to get inspiration for writing?
I try to problem solve and try to make my characters’ responses to obstacles realistic as possible while imbuing them with their own personalty
